Updated with school closure news: Beaverton may make decision Monday night.

In December, when an inch of snow fell and Beaverton School District Superintendent Jeff Rose decided against closing schools, the student tweets about him weren’t pretty.

But the love for their leader blossomed when he canceled school for two and a half days, including today, after a winter storm blew in and dropped six to eight inches of snow, followed by freezing rain.

Rose said the school closure news could come tonight or Tuesday morning. Rose said the transportation folks initially wanted to take a look in the morning before making a final decision but will drive routes this evening in hopes of making an earlier decision.

Rose, aka @JeffRoseSupt, decided to try his hand at Twitter this year as a way to get out the message about Beaverton School District and his “WE” initiative, which is to involve everyone in the community in schools.

Among the student tweets was a depiction of Rose as Time magazine’s person of the year and a “We all love you so much.” by Sean O. Another superimposed Rose’s face on an Olympic gold medal winner’s head.

Rose said he got a laugh out of the tweets, especially the Time magazine and Olympic depictions.

"It goes to show how efficient and creative our students
are when it comes to the tweeting world," he said. "As soon as students engage me, I am
aware I am definitely not up to pare when it comes to their abilities."
